Re: What's cooking in git.git (May 2017, #08; Mon, 29)

    "git status --ignored" previously did not list ignored files in
untracked directories without -uall, contrary to the documented
behavior of the --ignored flag (that all ignored files would be
listed). This has also been corrected.

It's a balancing act to decide what level of details when
summarizing what individual topics are about in the release notes.
I still think "clean -d" fix is the primary effect to the users, but
the change to "status -i" is also visible, so I do not mind spending
four more lines in the release notes to lengthen the description of
this topic.

Thanks.
